Identification markings
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least once a month.
The pressures indicated on the label are valid
for cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
